The drum on my Creda excel TCS3 condensor dryer drum not turning, motor ok?

The drum of Creda excel TCS3 condensor tumble dryer will not revolve. The motor is ok as the fan at the back is working. I think the drive belt (if it has one) has snapped but if it has one how do i get to it to replace it? if its not belt driven what else could it be? Thanks for your help

Thanks Rayb. i managed to get into the machine and found the belt had come off a small pulley but was still round the entire drum!The small pulley was mishapen for some reason. i put the belt over the small pulley and packed out between the belt and drum to make it tight as it was too loose to turn the drum without it. it seems to work ok at the moment but will probably have to replace belt for and small pulley at some point! Thanks again

sounds like belt snapped. put new belt on small pulley first. then pyt it on large pulley as far as you can. then turn large pulley with both hands till belt jumps onto rest of pulley.
